Okies... I picked up one of these cheap BT receiver modules because the feature-set is exactly what I wanted for a headphone receiver to pair with the FireTV, and it's still BT4.0 so it does pair properly with this older STB. Only problem is the final output is a PAM8403 2-ch Class-D amplifier, which does not play well with headphones due to common-GND wiring.
I was thinking of dumping the output across a couple of 10-100Ω pots in L-Pad config; then capacitive-coupling the (-) side for the return. Problem is, nowhere can I find any suggestion as to what the minimum loading is on this IC should be, and I'm worried aboot oscillation due to the RC filter I'm essentially making.
The board uses some random BT Chip (AS20BP01360-25A4) I couldn't find any documentation on, so no idea how much it can drive directly; worst case I can try tapping at the PAM8403 inputs and see how it works, but from prior tinkery I expect a lot of digital noise.
Anybody here done any experimentation with the PAM8403?
